Hi everyone. I did more of a mixed media CAS card for today. I sprinkled Lindy's magical powders (autumn crimson) on a piece of mixed media paper and spritzed with water. Once dry, I die-cut the heart of hearts die. I then took a second piece of mixed media paper and used acetate smooshing to add the same colour of magical powders to the background, along with gold perfect pearls. I love this combination. I took some leftover gold perfect pearls and added bits to the heart as well. The sentiment is stamped in Delicata Gold which is the same shade of yellow gold.
I die-cut two foam pieces of the heart of hearts die and layered them together with the coloured one on top to give my die-cut some dimension.
Here's a close-up ...

such wonderful effects with those magical powders - lovely card, Loll
Great mix of mixed media. The crimson looks great with the gold perfect pearls and good to know that the delicata is the same shade of gold. Gorgeous and unique CAS card with fabulous mixing of the medias x
The colors behind the crimson heart really make the magic happen! Also like the dimension with the foam layering. Really pretty, truly magical! TFS
Stunning card, love the pink/gold splatter effect and the gorgeous font on the sentiment :)

I love your acetate smooshed background and beautiful Magicals die cut heart, Loll. I can just visualize all the gorgeous shimmer. Layering your heart really made your pop. TFS my friend. Hugs
Loll, the colours are amazing, I'm sure all shimmery IRL. I love the extra layering it really makes the heart pop, and your choice of gold for the sentiment is perfect :)
Beautiful Loll! Love seeing those Magicals! Have a wonderful day my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

Beautiful work with those magical powders. Wow. Intense bold colors that really stand out. I like the smooshed background, too. I also really like the dimension on the heart. Wonderfully beautiful card, Loll! :) Hugs!
Wow, this is just gorgeous. I love the color and the smooshing. There is no end to the way to use those powders.
Gorgeous colors! And what a fabulous die. These colors and powders really give this die a little something extra special. It's full of interest, yet it retains just the right amount of lovely white space. Love this. Have a great weekend. Bev

Popping that heart up makes the background look like the color flowed through the hearts, Loll. Beautiful color and design.
I love your "Magical" series. Loll! The color (autumn crimson) is very pretty especially with the gold perfect pearls. It's a great effect that you can see the acetate smooshed background through the heat=shaped apertures! Hideko xx
Rich, artsy and so gorgeous, Loll ... the glint of gold with the purple is beautiful ... love all that yummy dimension! Hugs, Anita :)
Adore the artsy look of this card! The shimmery heart has so much dimension!
The pink and gold are a wonderful combination Loll and I love the dimension you have given the heart with the added foam layers behind, so so pretty. x
Wow! I love how you composed the elements of this card. Sentiment looks so beautiful on a stained background! Adding an extra dimension draws attention to this beautiful heart.
